Accelerated Degree Programs (ADP)
Accelerated Degree Programs (ADP) allow current Marquette University undergraduate students to immediately move into a master's degree after completing their bachelor's degrees. ADP students take classes during their junior and/or senior years that meet requirements for both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. With proper planning, students can often complete a master's degree in one additional academic year – saving $12-16,000.
The College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management offer ADP options within the areas below. A full list of Marquette University ADP programs is available here.
Learn More: Reach out to the admissions counselor to discuss your interests and questions.
Apply: Students may submit an ADP application within their junior or senior year.
ADP Planning within Advising Meetings
If you are interested in a MU ADP program, please mention your interest in your academic advising meeting, so your faculty advisor can consider ADP goals within overall course selection. If you have questions about a specific ADP program, please reach out to the faculty directors listed above.
*MBA students - please contact Sofie Sanchez.
Course Registration During Undergraduate Studies
Step 1: Register for undergraduate courses: ADP students will register for undergraduate courses during the registration appointment time assigned through CheckMarq.
If you will request graduate-level access to a course with 4000-5000 cross-listed sections (FINA 4040/5040 for example), please register for a spot in the 4000-level course. As GSM staff begin to consider graduate-level access, it is most helpful for enrollment maximums when we can help a student swap from the 4000 to the 5000-level section.
Step 2: Request access to graduate courses: Undergraduate students may request registration access for graduate courses using this form. See this page for instructions on finding the schedule of GSM courses.
